[WIP] Cooking up a world from scratch

You mean the ClimaSim images? There is actually an option to import you own maps as a background image, I think it's under the Display drop-down menu. You still need to draw the land and water by hand but the imported map is a useful guide for the placements of continents. The option is available on the demo version.

yes but the result is a map made of squares, doesn't look very accurate to me?
Also I do nto see an option to take into consideration windsVs Mountain ranges, they have a major role in forming rainshadow and deserts ... like the Gobi one for example or the western side of the South Americas.

That's true, there's only so far you can go with the simulation, I don't know if precipitation is even taken into account. I mainly used the results as a rough starting point for the temperatures.

I think those set of little videos explains a lot ...
